Hi ! I hope you are well ! Here is our weekly thread

The fediverse is big ! Let’s share our small gold nugget found in the fediverse.

It could be :
- A new peertube channel
- An interesting mastodon account to follow
- Your new community ! Yes ! Why not ?
- An cool gallery of picture from pixelfed
- A playlist from funkwhale
- A text that moved you
Let’s dig together !

I have found the perfect forgejo instance for my project, I need to make the project a bit easier to run for new users, then I’ll make a post about it here

So I am on Blorp, and I do not understand what I am looking when the app opens the webbrowser to open this link. What am I looking at?

It’s the forgejo link to my fediverse project, forgejo is something like github if you’re familiar with github, a place for software developers to view and collaborate on software projects.
The project is only useful to developers in it’s current state. You would need to download the project files, compile it into a binary, and possibly run it on a server to use the web UI. I currently don’t have any instructions for this, but I’ll make a longer post in the fediverse or selfhosted channel when I do.
Also, I’m targeting Sync for Lemmy instead of Blorp for the API.
Here is the initial announcement of the project and feature roadmap:

This link is a post on my personal instance and shows the current UI.

Thanks for the excelent explenation! Kudos to you to pull of this project.

Blorp dev here. If you did ever wanna try plugging Blorp into goofed, I’ve made it pretty easy to write “adapters” that plug Blorp into your API.
Blorp makes a lot of assumptions that could make this tricky, depending on which of these you plan on supporting:
- Resolve object endpoint is required
- Everything (local or federated) needs to return its activity pub id in API responses
- Blorp assumes content is organized into communities
But if your project happens to fit that, I’ve done a lot of heavy lifting for you already that you can take advantage of.

Hi and thanks, the third one might be an issue for my personal use, I’ve followed some ActivityPub Groups for Mastodon that give me some kind of hashtag feed not associated with a community (FediGroups maybe), but I guess Blorp users simply won’t do this so it’ll be fine. I’ll look into this again soon

I can’t commit to anything as my primary focus is Lemmy and PieFed, but I would be open to exploring what it would look like if I remove the requirement for content to be organized into communities. That might make mbin support possible too.
